As the subject line suggests, I'll update my mad weekend later. Then those people on my nano filter will hear a bit about my characters as I try to form them a little better.

But now - a meme snabbed from [livejournal.com profile] melliyna

If you had to write an owner's manual for yourself for someone else to read, what are five things (at least) you know you would include (silly, serious, Highly Important, etc.)?

1. I am a perfectionist when it comes to academia. I rage, rant, cry and throw tantrums when I don't think I'm doing a good enough job or I can't 'get it'. I'm awful to be around during assignment writing periods, like last week. I'm even worse to be around when I get assignments back. The best bit about university finishing? The end of assignments for a couple of years, at least.

2. I love to dance. I stand in ballet positions. I dance in public. I can be deeply embarrassing.

3. My family - grandparents, aunts and uncles, parents, sisters, cousins - all have varying levels of insanity. Sometimes it manifests in creative ways - making small teddy bears, doll houses, model trains, running a newspaper - other times it is more crazy - karate and lego leap to mind *g*. Crazy they might be, and very loud as well, but I love them all.

4. I like children. I've worked with them for 10 years now, and I plan to work with them for another 20 years or so. Children are more open and I think I understand them more than adults.

5. I adore Ben Folds. sit me down with a Ben Folds CD and I'd be happy for hours. Sit me down with Ben Folds and I'd probably die of happiness. It's sad, but true.

Your turn *g*

Friday -
Panic phone call from my assignment partner - the email with the assignments hasn't come through. Send it through another email address and head off to ballet. Teach ballet, make dinner, crash.

Saturday -
Dancing in the morning. Then a 5 minute turn around to make the train to Brisbane and a quick rush to get ready when I got home. Then off to Matt's uni friend's engagement party. Really good night, with a good dinner and pretty good crowd of people. Left at 11pm. Got home, crash.

Sunday -
Head up to the shops to get food. Then off to the convention centre to help mum out at the Quilting and Craft show. Five minutes after I got there, I was standing behind the stall, selling things while mum took off. Helped her out most of the (long) day, then helped my grandmother pack up her miniature dolls house. Home, dinner, a beer, crashed.

Today's plan
A couple of hours of study, Pride and Predjudice and a 20% off sale at Spotlight . . .
